I do already block ads via the /etc/hosts file and it largely works pretty well but it completely fails on YouTube and Reddit. I've read that YT is at best tricky with pihole as well, so for now I just use Firefox for these sites and qutebrowser for most other purposes.
But great to know there's some progress.
- The-Compiler 7y agoFWIW I just use a keybinding to open mpv for Youtube. There's also https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium https://github.com/ParticleCore/Iridium which can prevent ads (though I'm not sure if it still works, it was broken at some point).
- alpaca128 7y agoThanks for the suggestion, the keybinding for mpv works really well. Definitely better than getting these horrible popups in the middle of the videos.
